my #introduction: I have been a #linux #sysadmin and later a #developer for years professionally. I mostly worked with #debian which is what I use at home for everything too. I'm not so much into #tech anymore as I was before but I'd still like to know a bit what's going on and share one or the other tech related thing - and that's why I'm here.#gnome #emacs #orgmode #syncthing #nextcloud #fdroid #ardour #keepassx #introductions

I'm telling you, if you use #Google #captchas on your website it's like spitting into the face of the people that want to use your service.#fuckoffGoogle

@Argus using simple questions which are made by humans and changed regularly so robots cannot be trained

hah, obviously there will not only be *one* question. on bigger sites there would be even a team of people crafting answers and overlooking the signup process to make it AS GENTLE ON THE USER AS POSSIBLE. how do you fight bots? with HUMANS, not with OTHER BOTS. @js @Argus

@js AFAIK #google itself doesn't use captchas on it's own signup forms. how can that be then? #spotify even wants you to solve a captcha for logins. wow. they really suck. @Argus

@js @Argus google didn't require a phone number for any account I have made over the years and didn't have a captcha either. clearly captchas are for lazy admins who do not care about users. but hey, it's good because that's how you can know whom you should avoid, like #spotify (the bastards demand a captcha even to login) and #soundcloud

conclusion: #captchas are an easy way to piss off people and bots alike

@djsumdog I'd say you have to be clever, then it doesn't take a lot - and certainly not a #captcha

it has been about a week since I've turned off showing boosts and favs. on the positive side I don't get sucked into the dopamine cycle anymore. on the negative side, it makes tooting more like shouting into the void as I don't get much feedback. there is a price to pay if you don't want to experience the crappy side of social media.

@Ehardy18 I thought #manjaro should be rather stable, but rolling. #fedora of course is the testbed of #ibm
